Ok although living in a womens dorm might have driven me a little crazy, it would certainly have been safer. In Isla Vista, the community was still holding onto archaic and unsafe ideas that the guys definitely set up, for example, no one should lock their doors. People would say, “No one needs to. No one is going to steal your stuff.” But what about, entering our apartment/bedroom without welcome or warning? And look at the women here, all talking on the telephone. I presume that they were not just talking to their families and female friends, but also male suitors. Men in the 1970’s used to chat up the women they were interested in, on the phone, and met up with them, took them out on dates etc. What a concept! I got cheated going to college in the 1990’s, because those days were long gone. None of the guys that I went to college with wanted any form of commitment or monogamy. They wanted little to do with women, in the daylight, sober hours. Then, at nighttime, at parties, they would greet you either with an insult or a sexual comment. They wasted no time telling you what they wanted from you. We either gave in to them, then and there, or we had no interaction with the guys at college. There is a word for that now, “breadcrumbing.” You have to take what you can get, or go home. (Which I did a lot) Nice to see these players all eventually grew up and are being good to one woman, when they surprisingly didn’t practice that at all in college.
